NovelEnglishChapter 243 Are You Short On Money
Zachary fell silent.
Before Zachary could respond, Jonathan approached him, extending a piece of paper that read: If you intend to
raise me, I'll need a daily allowance of one billion.
A cold smirk tugged at Zachary’s mouth.
This child wasn’t even his, yet he had the audacity to ask for money-and a billion, no less? The kid probably
hadn't even seen a thousand before.
Zachary said to Cecilia on the other end of the phone. “I'll look into it. If the child isn’t mine, I'll return him to
Vivian and apologize.”
After hanging up the phone, Zachary turned to Jonathan and said, “You certainly have quite an appetite. Can you
really spend a billion a day?”
“Mister, you're not broke, are you?”
A slight twitch tugged at the corner of Zachary’s mouth. Of course he had one billion.
“If | were to give it to you, what should you call me?”

Jonathan's eyes curved in amusement. “I don’t deal with hypotheticals. Also, I'm hungry and need something to
eat. If you don’t feed me, I'll take this to court I'll tell the judge that my father refuses to feed me.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
He turned to the nanny standing by his side. “Take him to dinner.”
This was a complete disaster.
Before, Jonathan didn’t skip meals to spite him. Rather, he was engrossed in playing with his toys, intentionally
leaving him hanging.
Zachary felt as if he had been dealt a blow of monumental proportions.
At Daltonia Villa.
Cecilia relayed Zachary’s response to Vivian. “Don’t worry, once the DNA results are out, he'll let Jon go.”
Cecilia had no idea that Zachary was extraordinarily confident. The thought of taking Jonathan for a paternity
test had never crossed his mind.
“Ceci, it should have beencomforting you, but now, you're the one comforting me.”
“It’s all right now,” replied Cecilia gently, then asked, “By the way, are you staying at a hotel now?”
“Yeah, my dad is pretty harsh. He said if | don’t agree to an engagement with Zachary, he’ll leaveto fend for
myself on the streets. | plan to start job hunting tomorrow.”
Vivian refuse to believe that, with her skills, she wouldn't be able to find a job to support herself.
She was still serving as an external lawyer for Cecilia's company, earning a salary, albeit a modest one.
Having squandered away her resources from a young age, she found herself without a single penny in savings
this time.
“Actually, I think it’s a good thing that Zachary briefly took Jon away.”
If it hadn't been for Zachary taking Jonathan away, both he and Vivian would have had to stay in a hotel now.
More importantly, Roland might find out that she had been hiding a child.
“True, it worked out in a roundabout way, didn’t it?”
The two of them had a lengthy conversation before Cecilia finally ended the call.
By the tshe returned to the room, Nathaniel had already emerged from his study.
“Who were you talking to for so long?”

Cecilia had thought that he wouldn't speak to her at all that day.
“Vivian, we were just talking about her child,”
Nathaniel stepped forward. “Does Vivian live in Hillscester?”
Puzzled, Cecilia asked, “Yes, what's up? Haven't you been there before?”
Nathaniel recalled the precise address that the tech department had painstakingly discovered over the course of
a day and night. As it turned out, it was rather unfortunate that it was the exact location where Vivian resided.
He studied Cecilia with a curious gaze.
“Are you short on money?”
If she was, why did she reject the agreement he requested to be processed?
But if she wasn’t, then how did the money get transferred from Vivian's address?
The Kennedy family probably didn’t have the courage or capability to pull that off.
“What are you implying?” Cecilia felt there was more to his words than what met the eye.
“Nothing.”
This time, he was determined to find that person even if it meant turning Vivian's place upside down. &
